Track information not changing, shortly followed by pink noise

Hello

I’m currently running Audirvana on my MacBook Pro (2016) and connecting to my UPnP streamer (Primare NP5).

Everything is fine until the first track is finished. The track information doesn’t update when the next track starts and during the second song the music stops and gets replaced by pink noise. I have to stop the music as pausing doesn’t solve the problem.

I’ve tried changing settings and it happens every time. When I check the debug information there’s no details to report. I don’t have any playback problems when using Roon or Mconnect, so it is definitely an Audirvana issue.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I’d love to stick with Audirvana as I’ve heard good things but this issue is stopping game from committing to paying for a licence.

Cheers

Hello @Aldoj,

Can you send me a copy of the “Debug Info”? You can get it in Audirvana Settings>General>Debug Info

Note: By clicking on the Debug Info button, Audirvana automatically copies all its content, all you have to do is paste it in response to this message

Hi Damien,
Unfortunately no information shows in the Debug info section when this happens. So, I am unable to provide you with this information.
It does look like a number of people are experiencing this issue though.
Thank you for trying to help but I think my only option is to not subscribe to Audirvana.
Regards

What do you mean by nothing is shown? When you click on the button you have a window appearing with all of the information we can get from your audio device and Audirvana. You don’t have this window appearing when you click on the button?

When I last selected the debug information no window opened. I will try again when I get home and see if I can get information.

After you click on debug info, try to paste immediately here.

You can try to disable the MQA detection and set it to “Non MQA”, unless your DAC is MQA capable.

This is probably a UPnP issue. Let’s see if somebody from Audirvana can help you. You can also report it to Primare. Audirvana is now pretty much standard software. It’s in their interest also that their product works with it.

Thanks Bitracer. I will give that a go and see what happens. I’ll also contact Primare.

It’s odd though as I don’t have the same problem when using Roon over UPnP. On the odd occasion it may buffer but that rarely happens.

Roon uses its own protocol to stream. That’s the sorry state of UPnP where software manufacturers are forced to implement workarounds to account for differences in implementation by hardware manufacturers.
